When you have not set `permissions.defaultMode`, Claude Code now checks whether your session would start in auto mode anyway, and records that.\n\nIn the config panel, the permission mode value now shows \" (default)\" after it when it is the default value.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis can show you that auto mode is the mode you get by default, even though you never chose it.\n\n- Area: Auto Mode\n- Names: `permissions.defaultMode`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
